MG MG4 tyres
The MG MG4 runs one fitment, 215/50 R17 95V XL. XL is not optional here; it is what the car was type approved on. The MG MG5 EV takes the same size.

Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the driver's door jamb. Where it disagrees with this page, it wins. Match or exceed the size, load index, speed rating and construction class it gives, and use its pressure figure rather than anything printed on the tyre.
What changes on this car
215/50 R17 is the most competitively supplied EV size in Britain, which is the main reason an MG4 is cheaper to re-shoe than almost anything else with a battery in it.
The Long Range Trophy runs a larger 18 inch fitment. We have not yet sourced its load index and speed rating to the standard this site publishes at, so it is deliberately absent from the table below rather than guessed at.
The MG4 is not sold in the United States, so this page has no American counterpart and declares no hreflang pair.
The 17 inch car runs 215/50 R17 95V, and 95 is the XL index for that size: a standard-load tyre in 215/50 R17 tops out at 91. So the XL is not an option here, it is the only way to reach the load index the car was approved on.
Which one to buy
How these were chosen. Everything here already clears this vehicle's own load index, speed rating and construction class. Each heading is a question about use rather than a ranking. The whole method.
If range is what you care about
Graded A for rolling resistance, the best of anything here, and that is the figure that shows on the range display. Graded B for wet grip. EPREL registration 914991.

Where these figures come from
- MG4 owner's handbook tyre specification page, giving 215/50 R17 95V for the 17in car
- Michelin UK's MG4 pressure and dimensions page
Including the manufacturer's own published figure. Neither source is standing next to your vehicle, which is why the placard still wins.

Common questions
- What size tyres does the MG MG4 take?
- It runs 215/50 R17. The exact fitment for your car is on Driver's door jamb.
- Can I fit a cheaper tyre to a MG MG4?
- Only at 215/50 R17 95V XL or better. That is the figure to hold: a tyre below the load index, the speed rating or the construction class is not a cheaper one, it is the wrong one.
- What pressure should a MG MG4 run?
- 36 psi cold on the fitment above, from the placard. Check it monthly and check it cold, because a warm tyre reads high and an underinflated one costs range every mile you drive.
